Arrived Safely in Cuzco, after a really bad bus journey. It was supposed to be first class.. - ehich i have been recommended to take by all travellers, as its only a couple of dollars more, and yet service is much better. I was served cold beef and rice for dinner, then for breakfast and lunch i was served a packet of crisps and wafers!!!! What the hell!!! and the only drink they had was 'Inka Cola' which i havent tried yrt, but it is some fizzy yellow liquid.. looks a bit scary.. they didnt even serve water!!!
Anyway.. once i arrived i went straight to a hostal near the centre.. wanted to be near some gringos, as have been seriously deprived over the last few days! Also... finally HOT WATER after 3 days of wearing the same clothes.. and sleeping on a bloody coach! Also was starving.. so went on the prowl for actual hot food. Met a nice couple whilst eating my meal, so we moved onto an Irish bar... I wasnt too happy about this as i dont like being abroad, but hanging out with english people in english bars.. but didnt stay out too long as desperate for sleep.
Slept in till late.. then set out trying to hunt down the agency with which i have booked the Inca trail. I still havent heard from them and i am doing the inca trail tomorrow!! Went to the adress.. it was now a hairdressing salon! I ende up phoning round everywhere.. and am hoping to meet the lady with who i am going in 10mins.. so wish me luck that she actually shows.
After the trauma of the morning i went for a stroll around the city. It is Stunning! absolutly beautiful. but too many tourists! .. but what can you do.
There are loads of churches and cathedrals.. so i visited 5 churches this afternoon.. and they are amazing. The most beautiful churches i have ever seen i think. BUt unfortunatly, you cant take photos, and they dont sell postcards,. so you can only find out by coming.
However.. there is one thing i really wish i could have got a photo of, and that was a painting of the last supper. Jesus was not only breaking bread, but there was PAPAYA and CUY(guniea pig) on the table!!! How crazy is that!!!!.. anyway.. gotta dash! will write when i get back from the inca trail. - If i go!!!
